Abstract
Trickling filters offer advantages of lower energy needs and relative ease of operation. This report presents operating results from more than 100 existing trickling filter treatment plants and makes some general observations concerning the overall successful performance of these systems. While the report is not a complete analysis of these types of systems, it does indicate that, when properly designed, constructed and operated, trickling filters are an alternative which is worthy of further consideration in meeting the discharge requirements of the law. The basic thrust of the report is that trickling filters, often in combination with other treatment techniques, should be considered for new facilities as well as for continued use in plants where they presently exist.
